I am using windows 8.1.
I would like to customize options on the image. Shut down is defaut option in this window. I would like to change default option as hibernate. I would like two options to be in this window, restart and hibernate.
What can I do that ?

On Windows 7 the default can be changed from the Start Menu tab of the taskbar properties. It appears that with Windows 8.0, Microsoft moved this behavior to a group policy, I conclude that based on the following information.
On Windows 8, the Group Policy setting works. Gpedit.msc -> User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Start Menu and Taskbar -> Change Start Menu power button.

Thank you for answer. I have set hibernate as default. However I couldn't remove other options are switch user, sign out and shutdown. – sinanakyazici – 2013-12-06T15:36:41.133
@sinanakyazici - You won't be able to get rid of the ability to switch to a different user, sign out of a specific user, nor shutdown your computer. Those are basic functions of Windows, even a Guest, is able to shutdown ( or perhaps restart it ) and switch which user is logged in. – Ramhound – 2013-12-06T15:47:59.247
This is handled by a group policy. I was able to find the following source ( http://www.classicshell.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=918 ) without a great deal of research. Since the question is well written I won't issue a downvote. I won't punish this good question because my Google-fu is better then yours.
